"Anyone nastily trying to diminish Lia Thomas's incredible achievement because of lazy transphobia should frankly pipe down. Huge congratulations to her.'"

Well, I'm convinced. I'm packing up my women's rights and fucking off into the glorious new world.

Pipe down you bigots!

I'd like politicians including Charlotte Nichols to go and read the law.
Sports are a sex affected actuivity and both the GRA and Equality Act support single sex sports.
www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/7/section/19

Telling women who object to 'pipe down' may contravene the Equality Act;

Pipe down? How bloody dare she.

Thewindwhispers · 23/03/2022 11:15

Lia Thomas’ incredible achievement was indeed amazing, not everyone can gaslight the globe into allowing them to cheat on tv and also applauding it.

'Charlotte telling her labour voting women to 'pipe down' was the last straw for me yesterday. I cant honestly believe my own MP is telling me to shut my mouth. She only won by a margin and so hopefully she wont win again.'

Arrogant, not fit.

TheMarzipanDildo · 23/03/2022 10:56

That’s me told. I’ll get back in the corner and just whimper quietly.

ethnic**

Lockedoorsopen · 23/03/2022 10:52

I am from Warrington and spent all yesterday raging about this. We are a very very working class area and no way does this reflect the views of the people that live here. We also have several large ethic communities that will pull girls from sports if their parents think men will be in the changing rooms with them. Charlotte has shown that she has no idea about the people she represents.

She is tweeting bout a man in the US - instead of dealing with actual Warrington issues then dares to say she doesnt have to engage. I don't think she expected the back lash she got last night.

She was also the one that got pissed on a flight and blamed it on medication.

Manchester council also did a dirty trick of a rushing through quick motions that basically throw womens rights under the bus the night before so yesterday was bad day for me.

These idiotic people stamping all over the protections we have spent years gathering with zero thought of the impact it will have on us as women and our girls.

Both warrington and Manchester struggle to get girls in to sports. especially from working class families who some times cannot afford the commitment it takes in competitive sports. I am so angry at these MPs.

If Rosie Duffield suddenly took top spot I would vote labour but for now I will vote Tory to keep these people from making things any worse for women and my kids. I am working class, my family are working class and I will be speaking to them about voting for Tory and doing my best to let them know what Labour are doing. The Tories are no shining example but honestly Labour are evil to me at the moment.

Charlotte telling her labour voting women to 'pipe down' was the last straw for me yesterday. I cant honestly believe my own MP is telling me to shut my mouth. She only won by a margin and so hopefully she wont win again

Oh they get it. They just would rather preserve their own interests. They’re more frightened of whoever’s calling the shots than they are of us.

DoubleYouOhEmAyEn · 23/03/2022 10:25

Thick as mince. And completely insulting to all women and girls. Labour really aren't getting it are they?

MadameKali · 23/03/2022 10:13

I've screenshotted every single one of the captioned pics in that Twitter thread. It will come in very handy when Labour start knocking on the door for my vote. The Green candidate looked like they wanted to cry the last time they knocked and that was without pictorial evidence.
I live in a very safe Labour seat so spoiling my ballot won't make any difference but I can't/won't vote for any of the current parties. A century after getting the vote, so many of us are having to actively throw ours away.

Talk about miss the zeitgeist bus.

If the sentiment expressed wasn't bad enough, 'pipe down' put the lid on it, and the timing, just when the world is beginning to be outraged, will nail it down.

@Aquafizzle

I've written to her to complain about her complete disregard for women in sport. I'd like to see how long she maintains this line when her female voters walk away. Worth your career Charlotte?
I wish every woman spoke up and told her that woman need a voice too. What is it about some people that trans come first and women second. It's all about the man again, the man's voice as a trans woman.
Femalewoman · 23/03/2022 09:54

Swam not swan!

Femalewoman · 23/03/2022 09:54

Swan as a man and won then swam as a trans woman and also won against women - no shit, there's a surprise. Sad that this individual thinks it is a fair competition seeing he won the men's race first!

[quote ChopinBoard]@PronounssheRa good lord, that twitter thread is beyond depressing![/quote]
I am pleasantly surprised to find my female Labour MP isn't on that thread. She's a very savvy operator, though. Not a Corbynista but managed to advance during his time as Leader and head off talk of re-selection. She has a massive majority and seems to be doing a good job with her brief. Still not voting for her, though.

[quote Mochudubh]The Governor of Florida disagrees with her.

Good.

It's a biological man winning not a woman. Why should women accept that.

Femalewoman · 23/03/2022 09:51

So a biological man wins a race against a biological woman and we are all supposed to celebrate his achievement.

Not happening.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 23/03/2022 09:35

Her majority is about 1500. In the light of the Gibraltar incident, I assume her chances of being re-elected are poor. Good.

Runningupthecurtains · 23/03/2022 09:33

'Pipe down?' why doesn't she go the go the whole hog and tell us to get back to the washing up? She a female MP and she can't see the need to women's rights?

The simple truth. How teenage boys outcompete female Olympians. This is why we have women’s sports, Ms Nichols! As if you didn’t know.

tabbycatstripy · 23/03/2022 09:30

Nobody who tells other citizens to 'pipe down' has any business being an MP. This should be at the centre of a campaign to unseat her.
